Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On February 6, 2007, Keane, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Keane”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Caritor, Inc., a California corporation (“Caritor”), and Renaissance Acquisition Corp., a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Caritor (the “Merger Sub”).  Under the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will be merged with and into Keane (the “Merger”), with Keane continuing after the Merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Caritor.  At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Keane common stock will be converted into the right to receive $14.30 in cash, without interest.  In addition, all outstanding options to purchase Keane common stock and all shares of restricted stock will become vested in full prior to the effective time of the Merger.  Any option not exercised prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in exchange for cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the merger consideration per share of common stock over the exercise price of the option, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock underlying the option.

Keane has made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approval of Keane’s stockholders, Keane’s conduct of its business between the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger and, subject to certain exceptions, Keane’s agreement not to solicit, enter into discussions regarding, or provide information in connection with, alternative transactions.

The Merger Agreement has been approved by Keane’s board of directors.  Caritor has obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  The aggregate proceeds of the commitments, together with the available cash of Caritor and the unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt investments of Keane and its subsidiaries (net of any tax liabilities associated with making such unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt investments available to pay the merger consideration), will be sufficient for Caritor to pay the aggregate merger consideration and all related fees and expenses.  Consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition, but is subject to customary conditions to closing, including, among other things, the approval of the Merger Agreement by Keane’s stockholders and the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.  The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of Caritor and Keane and provides that, upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, Keane would be required to pay Caritor a termination fee of $26 million or Caritor would be required to pay Keane a termination fee of $26 million.  The Merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007.

Other than the Merger Agreement, there is no material relationship between Keane and either of Caritor or the Merger Sub.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

2

Voting Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Keane holding in the aggregate 11,953,361 shares of Keane common stock, or approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Keane common stock, entered into an agreement with Caritor and Keane (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, those stockholders agreed to vote their Keane shares to approve the Merger Agreement and against any other acquisition proposal and not to transfer or pledge any of their Keane shares or grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to their shares that are inconsistent with their obligations under the Voting Agreement.  The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC

Keane plans to file with the SEC and mail to its stockholders a Proxy Statement in connection with the transaction.  The Proxy Statement will contain important information about Keane, the merger and related matters.  Investors and security holders are urged to read the Proxy Statement carefully when it is available.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement and other documents filed with the SEC by Keane through the web site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

In addition, investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement from Keane by contacting Larry Vale at 617-517-1290.

Keane, and its directors and executive officers, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Keane’s stockholders with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.  Information regarding Keane’s directors and executive officers is contained in Keane’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and its proxy statement dated April 6, 2006 for its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which are filed with the SEC, as well as Keane’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 1, 2006, March 29, 2006, June 23, 2006, October 23, 2006 and January 25, 2007.  As of January 31, 2007, Keane’s directors and executive officers beneficially owned (as calculated in accordance with SEC Rule 13d-3) approximately 11.6 million shares, or 19%, of Keane’s common stock. You can obtain free copies of these documents from Keane using the contact information set forth above.  Additional information regarding interests of such participants will be included in the Proxy Statement that will be filed with the SEC and available free of charge as indicated above.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 6, 2007, among Caritor, Inc., a California corporation (the ”Buyer”), Renaissance Acquisition Corp., a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and Keane, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the ”Company”).

Introduction

This Agreement contemplates the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, with the Company surviving the Merger.  As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer.  The Boards of Directors of each of the Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company have adopted a resolution that deems the Merger and this Agreement to be advisable and fair to and in the best interests of each corporation and their respective stockholders.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule A have entered into a Stockholder Voting Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, and previously approved by the Company Board, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Company Stockholder Agreement”), pursuant to which such stockholders have, among other things, agreed to vote all of the shares of voting capital stock of the Company that such stockholders own in favor of the Company Voting Proposal.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Buyer has delivered to the Company the duly executed guarantee of Court Square Capital Limited (the “Guarantor”) in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Guarantee”).

Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company therefore agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1Effective Time of the Merger.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, the Buyer and the Company shall jointly prepare, and immediately following the Closing, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) in such form as is required by, and executed by the Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the MBCA. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the

1

1.2Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on a date to be specified by the Buyer and the Company (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the third Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, it being understood that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the delivery of such items and the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), at the offices of WilmerHale, 60 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts, unless another date, place or time is agreed to in writing by the Buyer and the Company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII as of any date, the parties shall not be required to effect the Closing on such date (“Date”) unless both (x) the financial statements for the Company that paragraph (c) of Exhibit C to the Debt Commitment Letter requires to have been provided by such Date to the lenders under the Debt Commitment shall have been so provided or filed with the SEC before the open of business on such Date and (y) either (i) the financial data for the Company, which is required for the preparation of the pro forma financial statements that paragraph (d) of Exhibit C to the Debt Commitment Letter requires to have been provided by such Date to the lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter, shall have been so provided to the Buyer at least 10 days before such Date or (ii) such pro forma financial statements shall have been provided to such lenders before the open of business on such Date (it being understood that the financial data to be filed by the Company on Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, for the applicable period shall satisfy the financial statement and data requirements of the Company under this clause (y)); provided, further that the parties shall disregard the preceding proviso on three Business Days’ written notice to the Company by the Buyer indicating that such proviso is to be disregarded.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Business Day” shall be any day other than (a) a Saturday or Sunday or (b) a day on which banking institutions located in Boston, Massachusetts or New York, New York are permitted or required by Law, executive order or governmental decree to remain closed.

1.3Effects of the Merger.  At the Effective Time the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the Company following the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”).  The Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Company, each as amended and in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall be the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation.  The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 11.07 of the MBCA.

1.4Directors and Officers.  The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving

2

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1Conversion of Capital Stock.  As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of the capital stock of the Company or capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a)Capital Stock of Merger Sub.  Each share of the common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)Excluded Shares.  All shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) that are owned by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Buyer, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of the Buyer immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c)Merger Consideration for Company Common Stock.  Subject to Section 2.2, each share of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Restricted Shares that are required to be cashed out in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $14.30 in cash per share without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate (as defined in Section 2.2(b)) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest.

(d)Adjustments to Merger Consideration.  The Merger Consideration and any other dependent items shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exercisable for Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, provided, that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company or its Subsidiaries to take any action that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

3

2.2Exchange of Certificates.  The procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger are as follows:

(a)Exchange Agent.  At or prior to the Effective Time, the Buyer shall deposit with Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. or another bank or trust company mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for payment through the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.2, cash in an amount sufficient to make payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) in exchange for all of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Exchange Fund”).  The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.  The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by the Buyer; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available).

(b)Exchange Procedures.  As soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto.  Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be paid promptly in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled.  No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender of such Certificate or Certificates.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person (as defined in this Section 2.2(b)) other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2.2.  As used in this Agreement, “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust, Governmental Entity, unincorporated organization or other entity.

4

(c)No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(ii)to effectuate the cancellation, as of the Effective Time, of all Company Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to the exercise price of such Company Stock Options);

6

practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days), an amount (net of applicable taxes including any amounts deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.2(e)) equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Restricted Shares held by such holder, without any interest thereon (the “Restricted Share Consideration”), and the holder shall cease to have any rights with respect to any such Restricted Shares.

(d)As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of Company Stock Options and Restricted Shares a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Stock Options and Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Stock Options and Restricted Shares.  The Buyer shall at all times from and after the Effective Time and until such time as the obligations have been satisfied maintain sufficient liquid funds to satisfy its obligations to holders of Company Stock Options and Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3.

42

action and that were not disclosed pursuant to the preceding sentence and other than losses, costs and expenses resulting from wrongful acts or omissions on the part of the Company), the Buyer shall reimburse such losses, costs and expenses in the event the Closing does not occur.

5.4Financing Commitments.

(a)The Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, necessary or advisable to obtain the financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters (provided that the Buyer may replace or amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, or otherwise so long as the terms are not materially less beneficial to the Buyer, with respect to conditionality or, when taken together with all other sources of financing, loan amount, than those in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement).  As soon as practicable after the date hereof but in any event on or prior to the Closing, the Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters on terms and conditions substantially in accordance with the Commitment Letters or on other terms no less favorable, in the aggregate, to the Buyer and not in violation of this Section 5.3.  The Buyer will furnish correct and complete copies of such definitive agreements to the Company promptly upon their execution.

(b)The Buyer shall keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to the status of the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters and shall give the Company prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect to such financings.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer agrees to notify the Company promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any Commitment Letter shall expire or be terminated for any reason, (ii) any financing source that is a party to any Commitment Letter notifies the Buyer that such source no longer intends to provide financing to the Buyer on the terms set forth therein, or (iii) for any reason the Buyer no longer believes in good faith that it

43

will be able to obtain all or any portion of the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters on substantially the terms described therein or on other terms no less favorable, in the aggregate, to the Buyer.  The Buyer shall not knowingly, and shall not knowingly permit any of its Affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the Company, take any action or enter into any transaction, including any merger, acquisition, joint venture, disposition, lease, contract or debt or equity financing, that would reasonably be expected to materially impair, materially delay or prevent the Buyer’s obtaining of the financing contemplated by any Commitment Letter.  The Buyer shall not knowingly amend or alter, or knowingly agree to amend or alter, any Commitment Letter in any manner that would materially impair, materially delay or prevent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.

(c)If the Debt Commitment Letter shall be terminated or unavailable to the Buyer for any reason, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, and, if obtained, will provide the Company with a copy of, a new financing commitment that provides for an amount of financing (when taken together with all other sources of financing) sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and terms and conditions not less favorable, in the aggregate, to the Buyer or Merger Sub than those included in such Debt Commitment Letter as originally issued.

(d)The Company agrees to provide, and to cause its Subsidiaries to provide, the Buyer with such cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer (including during the 10 day period contemplated by clause (y) in Section 1.2 hereof), including (i) upon reasonable prior notice, participation in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies, (ii) subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, bank information memoranda, business projections and similar documents required in connection with financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters, including execution and delivery of customary representation letters in connection with bank information memoranda, (iii) as promptly as practical (it being agreed that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to act within the timeframes set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters), furnishing the Buyer and its debt financing sources with financial and other documents, materials and information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer, including all financial statements, pro forma financial information, financial data, audit reports, audit opinions and other documents, materials and information pertaining to the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries of the types described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Exhibit C of the Debt Commitment Letter and (iv) facilitating the guarantees, security and pledging of collateral contemplated by the Debt Financing, including the loan, guaranty, security and collateral documentation; provided that (A) any documents executed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the foregoing shall only become effective upon the occurrence of the Effective Time and shall be executed pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors of the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not by the Company Board), (B) such requested cooperation shall occur during normal business hours and in a

44

manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (C) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time.  The Buyer shall, promptly upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation; provided that the Company shall not incur any material expenses (including printer, dealer manager and agency fees) without prior consultation with the Buyer.  The Buyer and the Merger Sub shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information relating to the Company approved by the Company for use therein).  The Company will periodically update any such Required Information if to the Company’s Knowledge such Required Information contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.  The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the financings contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter.

(e)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Buyer or Merger Sub from entering into agreements that shall not delay or otherwise impede the transactions contemplated by this Agreement relating to the financing or the operation of the Buyer, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, including adding other equity providers or operating partners.

(f)The Company shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Buyer prior to the Closing to replace any outstanding letter of credit maintained or provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries effective as of the Effective Time; provided that the actual replacement of such letters of credit shall not itself constitute a condition of Closing.

51

defense agreement between counsel to the Company and counsel to the Buyer that assures that such information will not be shared by counsel to the Company with any Company personnel.

(b)Subject to the terms hereof, the Buyer and the Company agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any government clearances or approvals required for Closing under the HSR Act and any other federal, state or foreign Law, regulation or decree designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or any Laws relating to restrictions on foreign investment (collectively “Antitrust Laws”), to respond to any government requests for information under any Antitrust Law, and to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) (an “Antitrust Order”) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law.  The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties counsel in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law.  The parties may designate any such documents “outside counsel only” and if so designated, such documents may not be disclosed to the other party.

(d)Each of the Company and the Buyer shall give (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third party consents required in connection with the Merger that are (i) necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) disclosed or required to be disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or (iii) required to prevent the occurrence of an event that is reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect prior to or after the Effective Time, it being understood that neither the

52

Company nor the Buyer shall be required to make any payments (other than filing fees and attorneys’ fees) in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 6.6.

(e)From and after the date hereof, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective employees and Representatives, to use reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary, and to cooperate with the Buyer and its Affiliates in their reasonable best efforts, to cause the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to adversely affect the security clearances that the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective employees have with Governmental Entities, including the Defense Security Service, including by complying with all reasonable requests for information, attending meetings on reasonable advance notice and consulting with the Buyer about these matters.

6.8Indemnification.

(a)From and after the Effective Time, each of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and required by the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Company or the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries or written agreements of the Company existing as of the date hereof and disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule.  If any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation with respect to which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence after the Effective Time, each Indemnified Party will be entitled (to the fullest extent permitted by Law and required by the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Company or the organizational documents of its Subsidiaries or written agreements of the Company existing as of the date hereof and disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule) to advancement of his or her legal expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation within ten (10) business days of receipt by the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor, provided that any such

53

Indemnified Party provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the MBCA, to repay such advancement if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified.

(b)From the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation or any successors thereto shall contain, and Buyer shall cause the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Company, to the extent permitted by the Law of the jurisdiction of organization of the Surviving Corporation or any such successors thereto.

(c)Subject to the next sentence, the Surviving Corporation shall either (i) maintain, and the Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, at no expense to the beneficiaries, in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (the “Current D&O Insurance”) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), so long as the annual premium therefor would not be in excess of 225% of the last annual premium paid prior to the Effective Time (such 225%, the “Maximum Premium”), or (ii) purchase a six (6) year extended reporting period endorsement with respect to the Current D&O Insurance (a “Reporting Tail Endorsement”) and maintain such endorsement in full force and effect for its full term.  If the Company’s existing insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period or exceeds the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a Reporting Tail Endorsement, provided that the Company does not pay more than $1,650,000 for such Reporting Tail Endorsement, in which case, provided that the Buyer causes the Surviving Corporation to maintain such Reporting Tail Endorsement in full force and effect for its full term, the Buyer shall be relieved from its obligations under the preceding two sentences of this Section 6.8(c).

(d)The Buyer shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 6.8 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 6.8.

(e)The provisions of this Section 6.8 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of the Company by Law,

54

charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

6.9Notification of Certain Matters.  During the Pre-Closing Period, the Buyer shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to the Buyer, of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur is reasonably expected to cause any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, in each case at any time from and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, or (b) any material failure of the Buyer and Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, or of any officer, director, employee or agent thereof, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the above, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice or the conditions to such party’s obligation to consummate the Merger.

6.10Employee Benefits and Service Credit.  For the one-year period commencing on the Effective Time, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide each employee of the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries who shall have been an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than employees subject to a collective bargaining or similar labor agreement) (“Continuing Employees”), for so long as such Continuing Employees remain so employed, health and welfare benefits that are substantially no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer will give each Continuing Employee full credit for prior service with the Company or its Subsidiaries (to the same extent as such service was taken into account under the corresponding Company Employee Plan) for purposes of (a) eligibility and vesting under any health plan of the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, and (b) determination of benefit levels under any Buyer Employee Plan or policy relating to vacation or severance, in each case for which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employee is offered participation, but except where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits.  In addition, the Buyer shall waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions for any condition for which the participant would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which they participated prior to the Effective Time and recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs.  Notwithstanding anything herein, nothing in this Section 6.10 shall limit any right of the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employees at any time (subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement or the terms of Company Employee Plan then existing with respect to any such Continuing Employee).  No later than five (5) Business Days prior to its distribution, the Company shall provide Buyer

55

with a copy of any communication intended to be made to all of its employees relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and will consider in good faith any reasonable comments thereto provided by the Buyer on a timely basis.

6.11Director Resignations.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Buyer at the Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of the resignation, effective as of the Effective Time, of those directors of Subsidiaries of the Company designated by Buyer to the Company in writing at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing.

6.12Takeover Statutes.  If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger, the Company Stockholder Agreement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Company Stockholder Agreement, the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and the Company Stockholder Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

6.13Stockholder Litigation.  Subject to a customary joint defense agreement, the Company shall give Buyer the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, nothing herein shall require either party to take any action that its counsel reasonably concludes would jeopardize the work product privilege or the attorney-client privilege. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of such litigation without Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.14Notification of Layoffs.  Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide the Buyer with written notice of the number of employees of the Company and each of the Company’s Subsidiaries laid off within the ninety (90) calendar days preceding the Closing Date.

Financing) and none of the Buyer, the Merger Sub or the Sponsor has committed fraud against the Company, then the Company’s termination of this Agreement and receipt of payment of the Buyer Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy against the Buyer, Merger Sub, the Sponsor and any of their respective Representatives, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or stockholders (each, a “Buyer Party”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein by the Buyer or Merger Sub or the failure of the Merger to be consummated or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (such losses or damages, collectively, “Company Damages”).  Company Damages shall include, and the Company shall be entitled to recover, notwithstanding the absence of third party beneficiary rights, any damages suffered by the Company’s stockholders as a group in the event of a successful claim by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a) for the Buyer’s or the Merger Sub’s willful breach of this Agreement or fraud prior to termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of all the Buyer Parties for all Company Damages shall be limited to $60,000,000 (the “Buyer Liability Limitation”) (it being understood that, for all purposes of determining whether the aggregate amount of Company Damages paid by the Buyer Parties has reached the Buyer Liability Limitation, the amount paid in respect of the Buyer Termination Fee shall be included as Company Damages and therefore the parties agree that the sum of the aggregate amount of Company Damages (not including the Buyer Termination Fee) paid plus the aggregate amount of the Buyer Termination Fee paid by all the Buyer Parties may never exceed $60,000,000) under any circumstances.)  In no event shall the Company seek, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries not to seek, any Company Damages or any other recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against any Buyer Party in excess of Buyer Liability Limitation from any Buyer Party in connection therewith and the Company, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries shall be precluded from any other remedy against any Buyer Party at Law or in equity or otherwise. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in all cases, the maximum liability of the Sponsor, directly or indirectly, shall be limited to the express obligations of the Sponsor under its Guarantee.  For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the first sentence of this Section 8.3(e), there shall be no liability of any Buyer Party for Company Damages other than liability for fraud or the willful breach by the Buyer of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(f)Each of the Company and the Buyer acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.  Payment of the termination fees described in this Section 8.3 shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of fraud or a willful breach of this Agreement described in clause (a) of Section 8.2, but otherwise shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties in connection with any termination of this Agreement.  If the Company shall fail to pay the termination fee payable under Section 8.3 when due or the Buyer shall fail to pay the Buyer Termination Fee when due, the defaulting party shall reimburse the non-defaulting party for all

62

reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by such non-defaulting party (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 8.3 together with interest on the amount of the Company’s termination fee under Section 8.3 or the Buyer Termination Fee, as the case may be, from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

8.4Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of any party, but, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires further approval by such stockholders without such further approval.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.5Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.  Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.  Such extension or waiver shall not apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver.  The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  None of the representations, warranties and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, except for the agreements contained in Article II, Sections 6.8 and 6.10 and Article IX.

Any party to this Agreement may give any notice or other communication hereunder using any other means (including personal delivery, messenger service, telex, ordinary mail or electronic mail), but no such notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is received by the party for whom it is intended.  Any party to this Agreement may change the address to which notices and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties to this Agreement notice in the manner herein set forth.

9.3Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto specifically disclaim reliance on any such prior understandings, agreements or representations to the extent not embodied in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms except to the extent expressly set forth in the parenthetical at the end of Section 5.3.

9.4No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person (or any Affiliate of such Person) other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto, except: (a) holders, as of the Effective Time, of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options and Restricted Shares shall be third party beneficiaries from and after the occurrence of the Effective Time with respect to Article II, but shall have no rights under this Agreement before the Effective Time or in the event this Agreement terminates for any reason without the Effective Time having occurred and (b) the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries from and after the occurrence of the Effective Time with respect to Section 6.8, but shall have no rights under this Agreement before the Effective Time or in the event this Agreement terminates for any reason without the Effective Time having occurred.  No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any Company Employee Plan unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision “amends” such Company Employee Plan.  This shall not prevent the parties entitled to enforce this Agreement from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other party shall be entitled to enforce any provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to such Company Employee Plan.  If a party not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to such Company Employee Plan and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively as of its inception, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect.

9.5Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or

65

otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations to any wholly owned Subsidiary to which it transfers substantially all of its assets, with the Buyer remaining responsible for any of its obligations under this Agreement; and provided further, that the Merger Sub may assign its rights to any Affiliate thereof, with the Merger Sub remaining responsible for any of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.6Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

9.7Counterparts and Signature.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission.

9.8Interpretation.  When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.  The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.  Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.  For purposes of this Agreement, references to any Law, including the Code, ERISA and Takeover Statutes, shall also be deemed to be references to any successor, amended or modified provisions thereof (except, that when used in Section 3.21(a) but not in Section 6.12, the statutes referenced in Section 3.21(a) shall refer only to those statutes as in effect on the date hereof).  Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and

66

regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.9Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

9.10Remedies.  The parties recognize and agree that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the Company in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party agrees that, in addition to other remedies, prior to any termination of this Agreement permitted by and in accordance with Section 8.1, the Buyer and Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of the Agreement, the Company shall not allege, and hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at Law. The parties further acknowledge that the Company shall not be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Buyer or Merger Sub or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and that the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such breach shall be the Buyer Termination Fee (if applicable) and, if applicable, the other remedies at Law available to the Company to the extent set forth in Section 8.3 (subject to the Buyer Liability Limitation); provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance against the Buyer and Merger Sub to prevent any breach by the Buyer or Merger Sub of Section 6.4.

9.11Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties to this Agreement (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court.  Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.  Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.2.

67

Nothing in this Section 9.11, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

9.12Disclosure Schedules.  The Company Disclosure Schedule shall each be arranged in Sections corresponding to the numbered sections contained in this Agreement, and the disclosure in any section shall qualify (a) the corresponding section of this Agreement and (b) the other sections of this Agreement, to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from a reading of such disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other sections.  The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or is reasonably expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.

9.13Company’s Knowledge.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge of the individuals identified in Section 9.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that for purposes of Article III of this Agreement, the term “Company’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge of such individuals as of the date hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that there would be inaccuracies in representations and warranties in Article III if the foregoing proviso were not to apply, the changes, conditions, events and developments causing or contributing to such inaccuracies shall not necessarily be disregarded for purposes of the first sentence of Section 3.7 notwithstanding the foregoing proviso or any provision that limits representations about such changes, conditions, events and developments to only a specified section of Article III.

9.14Recourse.  This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto (or the Sponsor to the extent set forth in the Guarantee) and no past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representatives of any party hereto (other than the Sponsor to the extent set forth in the Guarantee) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

Form of Company Stockholder Agreement

Execution Copy

STOCKHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT

THIS STOCKHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of                        , 2007 by and among the stockholders listed on the signature page(s) hereto (collectively, the “Stockholders” and each individually, a “Stockholder”), Keane, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), and Caritor, Inc., a California corporation (“Buyer”).  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement referred to below.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholders collectively own of record and beneficially the shares of Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of the Company (such shares being referred to herein collectively as the “Shares” and, for the avoidance of doubt, all references herein to a Stockholder’s Shares shall include not only all the Shares opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I, but also all additional shares of Company Common Stock that are owned directly or indirectly by such Stockholder or any Person controlled by or under common control with such Stockholder, subject in all cases to Transfers of such Shares that have been made to Permitted Transferees to the extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 2(a)) set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I hereto;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer, Buyer’s Subsidiary, a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and the Company will be the surviving corporation (the “Merger”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, Buyer has required that the Stockholders enter into, and in order to induce Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders are willing to enter into, this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows:

Section 1.Voting of Shares.  Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, at the Company Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder (a) will vote or consent to, or cause to be voted or consented to, all of his, her or its Shares to approve the Merger Agreement and (b) will vote all of his, her or its Shares against, and not provide consents to, any and all Acquisition Proposals and agreements providing for Acquisition Proposals or any proposal or nomination made by a Person who is, or whose Affiliate is, making, or has communicated an intention to make, an Acquisition Proposal.  In the event the Merger Agreement is amended in accordance with its terms to provide for a tender offer structure, such Stockholder shall tender his, her or its Shares before the scheduled expiration date for such tender offer by Buyer.

Section 2.Transfer of Shares.

(a)Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that, without the written consent of Buyer, such Stockholder will not directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, transfer (including by merger, interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by operation of law), pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership (as hereinafter defined) thereof (except to a Permitted Transferee), (ii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership thereof or grant or agree to grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto which is inconsistent with this Agreement or (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership thereof (except, in each case under clause (i) and this clause (iii), to a Permitted Transferee).  For purpose of this Agreement, “Beneficial Ownership” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (disregarding the reference to “within 60 days” in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)).  As used herein, a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean a Person that (A) is a signatory to this Agreement as of the date hereof, owns Shares continuously from the date hereof through the time of the action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii), and has not violated this Agreement or (B) before such action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii) occurs, agrees in writing, in form and substance to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, to be bound as a Stockholder under this Agreement and has not violated this Agreement.  In connection with any Transfer of Shares to a Permitted Transferee, the transferring Stockholder may transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Permitted Transferee, but the transferring Stockholder shall remain primarily liable for all breaches of such obligations before such Transfer and shall remain secondarily liable for all breaches of such transferred obligations from and after such Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall permit any Transfer of Shares, Beneficial Ownership, rights or obligations or any other action that would otherwise be permitted by this Section 2(a) if such Transfer or other action would create any material impediment or delay to the performance or consummation of the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, including, without limitation, triggering the applicability of any Takeover Statute to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

(b)Each Stockholder undertakes that, while this Agreement is in effect, except as contemplated by Section 7, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, propose or knowingly encourage or take any other action to knowingly facilitate an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement, option agreement, voting agreement or other agreement or arrangement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) enter into, continue, participate, engage or knowingly assist in any manner in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any non-public information or data to, any person (other than Buyer or any of its affiliates or representatives) relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

2

Section 3.Reasonable Efforts to Cooperate.

(a)Except as contemplated by Section 7, each Stockholder will, without further consideration, promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including filings with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity).

(b)Each Stockholder hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in the Proxy Statement, statements of beneficial ownership filed by Buyer and its Affiliates (and any other documents or communications provided by Buyer, Merger Sub or the Company to any Governmental Entity or to security holders of the Company) such Stockholder’s identity and Beneficial Ownership of the Shares and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement.

(c)Each Stockholder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, (i) upon written request by Buyer, to notify Buyer promptly in writing of the number of additional Shares, any options to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof and (ii) to notify Buyer promptly in writing if it receives, in its capacity as a Stockholder, any inquiries or proposals relating to the matters contemplated by Section 2(b) and to include in such notice the identity of the counterparty and the material provisions of the inquiry or proposal.

Section 4.Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.  Each Stockholder on such Stockholder’s own behalf hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

(a)Ownership of Shares.  Except as set forth on Schedule I hereto, the Stockholder (i) is the sole owner of record and Beneficial Owner of all of the Shares as set forth opposite his, her or its name on Schedule I hereto and (ii) has sole voting power with respect to all of such Shares and has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any such Shares and has not as of the date hereof granted a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to such Shares and, so long as this Agreement is in effect, will not grant any such proxies, consents and powers of attorney with respect to such Shares that are inconsistent with this Agreement.

(b)Power, Binding Agreement.  The Stockholder has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and no further proceedings or actions on the part of such Stockholder are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

3

(c)No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Stockholder will not, result in any breach or violation of, require any consent under, be in conflict with or constitute a default (whether with notice of lapse of time or both) under any mortgage, bond, indenture, agreement, instrument, obligation, judgment, order, decree, law or regulation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder (or his, her or its Shares) are bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not in any material respect impair or adversely affect the Stockholder’s ability to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.  Except as expressly contemplated hereby or as set forth on Schedule I hereto, the Stockholder is not a party to any voting agreement or voting trust relating to the Shares.

Section 5.Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.  Any such termination shall be without prejudice to liabilities arising hereunder before such termination.

Section 6.Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

Section 7.Fiduciary Duties.  Each Stockholder is signing this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as an owner of his, her or its respective Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude such Stockholder from taking or not taking any action in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company.

Section 8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto specifically disclaim reliance on any such prior understandings, agreements or representations to the extent not embodied in this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or rescinded except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that Buyer and Merger Sub may waive compliance by any other party with any representation, agreement or condition otherwise required to be complied with by any such party under this Agreement or release any other party from its obligations under this Agreement, but any such waiver or release shall be effective only if in writing and executed by Buyer and Merger Sub.

(b)Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term

4

or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

(c)Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(d)Counterparts and Signature.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission.

(e)Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) four Business Days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) one Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, or (iii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or the first Business Day following such receipt if the date of such receipt is not a Business Day) of transmission by facsimile, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:

LIMITED GUARANTEE
OF
COURT SQUARE CAPITAL LIMITED

LIMITED GUARANTEE, dated as of                     , 2007 (this “Guarantee”), by Court Square Capital Limited, a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Keane, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”).

1.GUARANTEE.  To induce the Company to enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of                , 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement), by and among the Company, Caritor, Inc., a California corporation (“Buyer”), and Renaissance Acquisition Corp. a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, the Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Company the due and punctual observance, payment, performance and discharge of (i) the payment obligations of Buyer with respect to the Buyer Termination Fee, (ii) any Company Damages for which Buyer is liable after the termination of the Merger Agreement as a result of any fraud by Sponsor, Buyer or Merger Sub or willful breach by Buyer or Merger Sub of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement in each case as provided in Section 8.2(a) of the Merger Agreement and (iii) any payment obligations of the Buyer pursuant to Section 5.4(d) (Company’s financing expenses), 5.2(a) (expenses of liquidation and conversion of unrestricted cash equivalents) or 8.3(f) (expenses enforcing termination fee) of the Merger Agreement (each of (i), (ii) and (iii) is referred to herein individually as an “Obligation” and collectively as the “Obligations”); provided that in no event shall the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under this Guarantee exceed $60,000,000 (the “Cap”), it being understood that this Guarantee may not be enforced against the Guarantor without giving effect to the Cap.

If the Buyer is in breach of any of its Obligations, then all of the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Company hereunder in respect of such Obligations shall, at the Company’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Company may at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option, and so long as Buyer remains in breach of its Obligations, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder in respect of such Obligations, subject to the Cap.

2.NATURE OF GUARANTEE.  The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Buyer or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  In the event that any payment to the Company in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not been made.  This is an unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collectibility.  The Guarantor reserves the right to assert defenses which Buyer or Merger Sub may have to payment of any Obligations other than defenses arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of Buyer or Merger Sub and other defenses expressly waived hereby.

3.CHANGES IN OBLIGATIONS, CERTAIN WAIVERS.  The Guarantor agrees that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Buyer or Merger Sub for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Company and Buyer or Merger Sub or any such other person without in any way impairing or affecting this Guarantee.  The Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Company to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Buyer or Merger Sub or any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; (c) the addition, substitution or release of any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Buyer or Merger Sub or any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Buyer or Merger Sub or any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement; (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against Buyer, Merger Sub or the Company, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise; or (g) the adequacy of any other means the Company may have of obtaining payment of the Obligations.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Company.  The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind (except for notices to be provided to Buyer and Merger Sub in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Merger Agreement), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Buyer or Merger Sub or any other entity or other person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (in all cases, other than fraud or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Buyer or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement or breach by the Company of this Guarantee).  The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to institute, any proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, against the

2

Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s former, current or future directors, officers, agents, Affiliates (other than Buyer or Merger Sub) or employees, or against any of the former, current or future general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders of the Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof (other than Buyer or Merger Sub) or against any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, Affiliates, general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders of any of the foregoing (other than Buyer or Merger Sub), except for claims against Guarantor under this Guarantee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guarantee, the Company hereby agrees that to the extent Buyer and Merger Sub are relieved of any Obligations under the Merger Agreement (other than as a result of defenses arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of Buyer or Merger Sub or other defenses expressly waived hereby), the Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its obligations under the Guarantee.

4.NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS.  No failure on the part of the Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder.  Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Company or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Company at any time or from time to time.

5.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of the Guarantor’s partnership agreement, operating agreement or similar organizational documents or any law, regulation, rule, decree, order, judgment or contractual restriction binding on the Guarantor or its assets;

(b)all consents, approvals, authorizations and permits of, filings with and notifications to, any governmental authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by the Guarantor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guarantee;

(c)this Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and

(d)Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under this Guarantee, and all funds necessary for the Guarantor to fulfill its obligations under this

3

Guarantee shall be available to the Guarantor for so long as this Guarantee shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

6.NO ASSIGNMENT.  Neither the Guarantor nor the Company may assign or transfer its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any other person (except by operation of Law) without the prior written consent of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Guarantor may transfer all or a portion of its obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or to an entity managed or advised by an Affiliate of the Guarantor, provided that no such transfer shall relieve the Guarantor of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent actually performed or satisfied by the transferee.

7.NOTICES.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) four (4) Business Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, or (iii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or, the first (1st) Business Day following such receipt if the date of such receipt is not a Business Day) of transmission by facsimile, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below.  All notices to the Guarantor hereunder shall be delivered as set forth below:

8.CONTINUING GUARANTEE.  This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns until all amounts payable under this Guarantee have been indefeasibly paid or satisfied in full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee shall terminate and the Guarantor shall have no further obligations under this Guarantee as of the earlier of (a) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (b) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms pursuant to Section 8.1(a), 8.1(d), 8.1(e), 8.1(f) or 8.1(g) and (c) the first anniversary of any other termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, except, in the case of clause (c), as to a claim for payment of any Obligation presented by the Company to Buyer, Merger Sub or the Guarantor by such first anniversary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries asserts in any litigation or other proceeding that the provisions of Section 1 hereof limiting the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Cap or the provisions of Section 8 or 9 hereof are illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part or asserts any theory of liability against the Guarantor or any Affiliates of the Guarantor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement other than liability of the Guarantor with respect to this Guarantee (as limited by the provisions of Section 1), then (i) the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall terminate ab initio and be null and void, (ii) if the Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Guarantee, it shall be entitled to recover such payments, and (iii) neither the Guarantor nor any Affiliate of the Guarantor shall have any liability to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or under this Guarantee; provided, however, that if the Guarantor asserts in any litigation or other proceeding that this Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), then, to the extent the Company prevails in such litigation or proceeding, the Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of the Company in connection with such litigation or proceeding.

9.NO RECOURSE.  The Company by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than the Guarantor shall have any obligation hereunder and that no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate (other than Buyer or Merger Sub) or employee of the Guarantor, against any former, current or future general or limited partner, member, manager or stockholder of the Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof (other than Buyer or Merger Sub) or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager or stockholder of any of the foregoing (other than Buyer or Merger Sub), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that Merger Sub has no assets and that no funds are expected to be contributed by Buyer or Merger Sub unless the Closing occurs.  Recourse against the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be the exclusive remedy of the Company and its Subsidiaries against the Guarantor or any of its former,

5

current or future directors, officers, agents, Affiliates, general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to institute, any proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, against the Guarantor or any of its former, current or future directors, officers, agents, Affiliates (other than Buyer or Merger Sub), general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholder except for claims against the Guarantor under this Guarantee.  Except in accordance with Section 6 hereof, nothing set forth in this Guarantee shall affect or be construed to give any Person (other than the Guarantor and the Company (including any Person acting in a representative capacity and any Affiliate of the Company)) any rights or remedies against any Person.

10.GOVERNING LAW.  This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  All actions arising out of or relating to this Guarantee shall be heard and determined exclusively in the state or federal courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York.  The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Guarantee brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named court, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper, or that this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by the above-named court.

11.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Exhibit 99.1

STOCKHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT

THIS STOCKHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 6, 2007 by and among the stockholders listed on the signature page(s) hereto (collectively, the “Stockholders” and each individually, a “Stockholder”), Keane, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), and Caritor, Inc., a California corporation (“Buyer”).  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement referred to below.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholders collectively own of record and beneficially the shares of Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of the Company (such shares being referred to herein collectively as the “Shares” and, for the avoidance of doubt, all references herein to a Stockholder’s Shares shall include not only all the Shares opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I, but also all additional shares of Company Common Stock that are owned directly or indirectly by such Stockholder or any Person controlled by or under common control with such Stockholder, subject in all cases to Transfers of such Shares that have been made to Permitted Transferees to the extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 2(a)) set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I hereto;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer, Buyer’s Subsidiary, a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and the Company will be the surviving corporation (the “Merger”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, Buyer has required that the Stockholders enter into, and in order to induce Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders are willing to enter into, this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows:

Section 1.Voting of Shares.  Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, at the Company Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder (a) will vote or consent to, or cause to be voted or consented to, all of his, her or its Shares to approve the Merger Agreement and (b) will vote all of his, her or its Shares against, and not provide consents to, any and all Acquisition Proposals and agreements providing for Acquisition Proposals or any proposal or nomination made by a Person who is, or whose Affiliate is, making, or has communicated an intention to make, an Acquisition Proposal.  In the event the Merger

Agreement is amended in accordance with its terms to provide for a tender offer structure, such Stockholder shall tender his, her or its Shares before the scheduled expiration date for such tender offer by Buyer.

Section 2.Transfer of Shares.

(a)Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that, without the written consent of Buyer, such Stockholder will not directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, transfer (including by merger, interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by operation of law), pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership (as hereinafter defined) thereof (except to a Permitted Transferee), (ii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership thereof or grant or agree to grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto which is inconsistent with this Agreement or (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership thereof (except, in each case under clause (i) and this clause (iii), to a Permitted Transferee).  For purpose of this Agreement, “Beneficial Ownership” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (disregarding the reference to “within 60 days” in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)).  As used herein, a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean a Person that (A) is a signatory to this Agreement as of the date hereof, owns Shares continuously from the date hereof through the time of the action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii), and has not violated this Agreement or (B) before such action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii) occurs, agrees in writing, in form and substance to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, to be bound as a Stockholder under this Agreement and has not violated this Agreement.  In connection with any Transfer of Shares to a Permitted Transferee, the transferring Stockholder may transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Permitted Transferee, but the transferring Stockholder shall remain primarily liable for all breaches of such obligations before such Transfer and shall remain secondarily liable for all breaches of such transferred obligations from and after such Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall permit any Transfer of Shares, Beneficial Ownership, rights or obligations or any other action that would otherwise be permitted by this Section 2(a) if such Transfer or other action would create any material impediment or delay to the performance or consummation of the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, including, without limitation, triggering the applicability of any Takeover Statute to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

(b)Each Stockholder undertakes that, while this Agreement is in effect, except as contemplated by Section 7, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, propose or knowingly encourage or take any other action to knowingly facilitate an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement, option agreement, voting agreement or other agreement or arrangement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) enter into, continue, participate, engage or knowingly assist in any manner in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any non-public information or data to, any person (other than Buyer or any of its affiliates or representatives) relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

Section 3.Reasonable Efforts to Cooperate.

(a)Except as contemplated by Section 7, each Stockholder will, without further consideration, promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including filings with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity).

(b)Each Stockholder hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in the Proxy Statement, statements of beneficial ownership filed by Buyer and its Affiliates (and any other documents or communications provided by Buyer, Merger Sub or the Company to any Governmental Entity or to security holders of the Company) such Stockholder’s identity and Beneficial Ownership of the Shares and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement.

(c)Each Stockholder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, (i) upon written request by Buyer, to notify Buyer promptly in writing of the number of additional Shares, any options to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof and (ii) to notify Buyer promptly in writing if it receives, in its capacity as a Stockholder, any inquiries or proposals relating to the matters contemplated by Section 2(b) and to include in such notice the identity of the counterparty and the material provisions of the inquiry or proposal.

Section 4.Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.  Each Stockholder on such Stockholder’s own behalf hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

(a)Ownership of Shares.  Except as set forth on Schedule I hereto, the Stockholder (i) is the sole owner of record and Beneficial Owner of all of the Shares as set forth opposite his, her or its name on Schedule I hereto and (ii) has sole voting power with respect to all of such Shares and has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any such Shares and has not as of the date hereof granted a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to such Shares and, so long as this Agreement is in effect, will not grant any such proxies, consents and powers of attorney with respect to such Shares that are inconsistent with this Agreement.

(b)Power, Binding Agreement.  The Stockholder has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and no further proceedings or actions on the part of such Stockholder are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

(c)No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the

Stockholder will not, result in any breach or violation of, require any consent under, be in conflict with or constitute a default (whether with notice of lapse of time or both) under any mortgage, bond, indenture, agreement, instrument, obligation, judgment, order, decree, law or regulation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder (or his, her or its Shares) are bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not in any material respect impair or adversely affect the Stockholder’s ability to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.  Except as expressly contemplated hereby or as set forth on Schedule I hereto, the Stockholder is not a party to any voting agreement or voting trust relating to the Shares.

Section 5.Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.  Any such termination shall be without prejudice to liabilities arising hereunder before such termination.

Section 6.Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

Section 7.Fiduciary Duties.  Each Stockholder is signing this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as an owner of his, her or its respective Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude such Stockholder from taking or not taking any action in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company.

Section 8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto specifically disclaim reliance on any such prior understandings, agreements or representations to the extent not embodied in this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or rescinded except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that Buyer and Merger Sub may waive compliance by any other party with any representation, agreement or condition otherwise required to be complied with by any such party under this Agreement or release any other party from its obligations under this Agreement, but any such waiver or release shall be effective only if in writing and executed by Buyer and Merger Sub.

(b)Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable

term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

(c)Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(d)Counterparts and Signature.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission.

(h)Interpretation.  When reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.  Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.  Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  No summary of this Agreement prepared by the parties shall affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
